The origin of Christmas

Christmas is a year's Gregorian calendar time of 65438+February 25th. It is a very important traditional festival in western countries, and it is the day when Christianity commemorates the birth of Jesus. But in fact, there is no record in the Bible that 65438+February 25th is the date when Jesus was born. This day is actually the birthday of the sun god stipulated by the former Roman Empire. Christians believe that Jesus is a just and eternal sun, so they celebrate this day as Jesus' birthday, which gradually evolved into Christmas.

the Santa Claus

Santa Claus is a figure in western myths and legends. It is said that Santa Claus will quietly give presents to children on Christmas Eve. This mysterious old man is generally regarded as the Christian saint nicholas.

According to legend, Nicholas was born in Banca, Asia Minor in the 4th century. He was a rich man with Catholic parents, but unfortunately he died young. Nicholas inherited his parents' property. When he grew up, the kind Nicholas donated all his property to those poor people who lived in poverty. He has done many good deeds in his life and likes to help the poor in secret. Santa Claus is his later nickname, which has been used ever since.

What are the activities for Christmas?

Christmas in the west is as grand as Spring Festival in China. With the coming of Christmas, people in the West have already begun to prepare for Christmas, cleaning their homes, buying new clothes, preparing Christmas trees and gifts, preparing Christmas equipment for children, hanging Christmas decorations and decorating everywhere, and everywhere is full of lively and festive atmosphere.

The day before Christmas 65438+February 24th is called Christmas Eve, which is the beginning of Christmas. On this day, many Christians will hold some ceremonial activities, such as parties, performances and Christmas dinners. By the early morning of the 25th, Christians will start mass in the church and worship Jesus. Children in the west will especially expect Santa Claus to give them presents on Christmas Eve, so they will wash and go to bed early at night and put big socks beside their beds to prepare Christmas presents.

Christmas in China.

In recent years, Christmas has also become popular in China. Many people in China are also keen on Christmas and hold various celebrations, especially those led by businessmen. However, many people in China forget that this is a western festival and regard this festival as more important than China's own traditional festivals, which is not desirable. Therefore, the state has expressly stipulated that schools are not allowed to celebrate these western festivals excessively.
